Xiaoshuang LU created THRIFT-3979: ------------------------------------- Summary: offer TExtendedBinaryProtocol for customers Key: THRIFT-3979 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3979 Project: Thrift Issue Type: Story Components: C++ - Library, Java - Library Affects Versions: 0.9.3 Reporter: Xiaoshuang LU
Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (username, password, id, etc.) in each request and response. And these options ought to be transparent for applications. Unfortunately, thrift protocol does not have good extensibility for extra functionalities. I would like to propose the following solution to address this issue. 1. TMessage adds a new field called "options" 2. customers set "options" 3. TExtendedBinaryProtocol writes "options" when "writeMessageBegin" invoked 4. TExtendedBinaryProtocol reads "options" when "readMessageBegin" invoked -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
